Eastern`s Moonlight Flights May Be Expanded To Miami

Eastern Airlines and CF Airfreight are expected to announce next week an expansion of their low-fare moonlight special service to Miami International Airport.

The flights, which won`t begin until September or October, will travel to the Pacific Coast via Houston and will also stop in Orlando, industry sources said.

Miami and Orlando would be the first new cities added to the late-night system since it was started in April. Officials from both companies have said the system would be expanded this fall and that service points for three new A-300 planes would be revealed this month.

The flights now shuttle between five Atlantic Coast and four Pacific Coast cities via Houston and Chicago. By taking advantage of a three-year contract to carry freight for CF on the routes, Eastern can offer passengers discounts of up to 70 percent on the flights.
